Here's how much money I'd have had to spend on each frontier image gen/edit to pay for all the playtime I've accrued just using Qwen Image 2.1/Edit Turbo locally: Nano Banana 2: $133.51 Nano Banana Pro: $222.27 GPT Image 2: $96.85 Grok Imagine (quality): $99.13 Grok Imagine (standard): $35.73

That's 10 days of generations/edits, 1624 in total. Granted.. that's a ton. But still, the fact I've been able to do all of it only for the cost of electricity my GPU uses while getting nearly Nano Banana-level quality work is crazy.
